Fun Fact: They use those trucks to guard Area 51!!

[@Tsalinger]

I find it funny that any high school kid with a wrench can go to a wrecking yard pick up an LS Chevy clean it up call Edelbrock for a carb conversion and a MSD crank trigger and be putting out 500hp in a weekend. Hell I have short bed Chevy with a gen1 roller and a set of Vortec heads that puts out 400 that I let anyone use if they need it. As for the 4x4 unit those aren't worth spit unless your just using it on a smooth gravel road. Don't get me started on what junk those Raptors are and how they suck morons in. I subscribe to the idea there is no 1 perfect car so you need 15. I did just get a deal on an FJ Cruiser last week (my first Toy) guess Scotty got into my brain. We will see how it works out. Not as fast as my early Bronco (my only Ford and more or less retired) but it sure rides better. I had to rip out all the suspension and steering on that Ford because the design is so dangerous and unpredictable. Built not bought is the only way to beat the car industry.

[@rays7437]

We had a customer come in with his Raptor for a hard ride and a rattle in the front end. The truck was still under basic warranty so I wrote it up as a warranty concern. When the tech checked it out, he found one of the front shocks collapsed and the truck was beat up underneath, obviously it had been jumped. At that time Ford was asking us to call the tech hotline for suspension concerns before doing repairs. We figured since the truck had clearly been jumped/off-roaded/abused that the repair would not be covered and the estimate for repair was about $1000.00 To our surprise, Ford said to do the repair under warranty because that's what they built the truck to do. Of course, they wanted the old part back for parts analysis. I was impressed. And it was the only Raptor I've seen since then that had a blown shock.

I got a 2012 Rap SCab. I absolutely love this truck, my 2012 has literally the same mileage on the clock as this one Scotty is talking up. If you buy a Raptor be aware, the suspension is not cheap, Fox recommends their shocks be rebuilt at 50k miles. Just to give you an idea, I sent a pair of front shocks only to Fox and it was $500 plus shipping them to Cali. Fox has top notch customer service BTW. Always ask when the shocks were rebuilt if ever, and check the skid plates. jumpers gash up the skids on the Raps I've been around. The 6.2L is a beaut.

[@chrishernandez2490]

50k miles... but the question is what KIND of miles? 50k of off-roading miles? I kinda doubt they would need to be rebuilt with 50k highway miles. 🤔

[@rubenscott3972]

So at 100k miles it should be replaced

[@TheKevinhaeb]

Agreed on the shocks. The Fox shocks are great performers but both of my used Gen 1 raptors had bad shocks at purchase. Recently did the exchange program with forged off-road and the rebuilt shocks didn’t even last 1k miles. I decided to go with new gen 2 shocks and couldn’t be happier. Gen 1 shocks just don’t hold up and you’re lucky to get 50k out of them. Still couldn’t be happier with the Raptor and could care less about cost of ownership.

[@dannysan1272]

I owned a 2013 SVT Raptor Super Cab, and had 3 issues. The fuse pump issue which is a $30 dollar fix and 25 mins of your time. The second was replacing the ball joints and shocks. The first owner did a lot of off-roading so those needed to be replaced at 45k miles. After those were replaced, it was back to normal. The third and largest issue was the torque converter went out and I had to have the transmission rebuilt. That was $3600. This thing was a beast and I’m looking at getting another one but this time one that wasn’t beat on.

I own a Gen 1 and really it depends on how you take care of your toys. The "endless money pit" for me is the mods such as lighting, suspension, wheels, overland/ bugout builds, or if you're willing to spend a little, put in a Whipple supercharger.

There's a reason why Ford has sold the most full size pick ups for 43 years and the Raptir is one good reason why. An off road vehicle that was specifically designed for off roading. Yeah the V8's were the best ones, but unless you are off roading a lot on your property on the weekends, the Raptor isn't really a city driving vehicle.

[@fdmackey3666]

I don't always agree with you about some things but I have to admit that you call them as you sees them and I respect that. Now for a couple of questions I can't seem to get a straight answers to: 1) Should I go ahead and have a dealership or professional shop change the transmission and differential oil/fluid in the 2005 Chevy Z71, 4X4 Colorado ( w/auto transmission) and five cylinder engine? I purchased the truck as a "beater" late last year but I want to be able to depend on it for as long as possible. I had the engine oil changed within days of buying it but with almost 240,000 miles on it (and I know it was used as tow vehicle though I don't WHAT it was used to tow or for how long/often/or how much the towed weight was. The truck is in excellent condition (no rust and never wrecked) but I've heard and read of problems that resulted when owners of used vehicles, especially vehicles with high millage that were used as tow vehicles when transmissions were serviced. My wife and I are on a fixed retirement income and purchasing a new or rebuilt transmission and/or differential is kind of out of our price range. I like this truck for what I purchased for and do not plan on ever using it as tow vehicle barring some unexpected emergency. I hope you see this question and are willing to give me your professional opinion. Thanks for providing the excellent videos that you do here on You Tube!

I got a 2013 f150, fx4 with upgraded suspension. 5.0L V8 with 160K miles. And only issue was serpentine belt. It's been good to me. I do agree with the V8 over the EcoBoost. I chose it over a used raptor, due to I get a longer bed with the fx4.

[@pauln9549]

Scotty, I love your videos and I frequently hear you say that highway miles are equivalent to about 10% of city miles. I was wondering does this apply to passenger (not freight) trucks that tow on the highway as well? Thanks for your time sir!

Carson D that wasn’t a clean non-offensive comment

[@zezarusgaming9286]

The V8 was only available during the first few years. The V8 and V6 were never offered together. They now use an updated version of the Ecoboost 3.5L V6. It does not get better fuel economy than the V8. In theory it could. But because of it's weight the Raptor is always getting into boost because the Turbos are very small and spool very quickly. They never offered a N/A V6 in the Raptor either. It has always been the 3.5 ecoboost from 2017 to now, everything before 2017 was either a 5.4 V8 or 6.2 V8.

I bought a used 2014 f150 5.0 4x4 up here in Canada. Really good truck so far, thinking of replacing plugs soon

[@thomasbrand2650]

The Raptor is my dream car. You mentioned the turbos on the newer Raptors, I actually don't think Ford offers their new generation Raptor without the turbo. And I don't think there's been much improvement in luxury or off-road technology over the past 5 years. So as long as it hasn't been beat to hell, buying a used one is probably the better option.

[@stepside2839]

There's a big difference between Gen 1(2010-2014) & Gen 2 (2017-present) in technology improvements No Raptors for 2015 & 2016 But, Gen 1 is better looking 😆

[@richardbutton1179]

Love to have a used Raptor. Chevy 350 will run forever as long as you dont run it hard too often even then they hold up pretty well.

[@davidmckibbin4440]

they can be 90% spent and still start and get you where you need to be.

Coolers and radiators up the wazoo !! Scotty never fails to crack me up.....I end up adding those to my vehicles as I work on them.....I wish Scotty would talk about the Cool Can cuz I put them on all my high-performance vehicles and I love them with dry ice they really make a difference especially on carbureted motors..... Great for this Raptor.....

I always wondered if the off road capabilities were really worth it. Pickup trucks in general are great for dirt roads, as long as the roads aren't so bad I can see a regular F-150 working pretty fine

[@No_nonsense302]

For normal off road stuff, a regular F150 would be fine. The raptor does have a high end suspension for sure! Just the shocks on the new one would cost over 6k to go try and buy a set.

[@JacesOwnWorld]

@@No_nonsense302 so go buy a regular F150, spend $6k on better shocks than what the Raptor comes with, and you have a Raptor for half the price

[@jibrilthegreat35]

@@JacesOwnWorld its not that easy of cheap. The Raptor has a long travel suspension, a regular truck has about 6 inches of travel the Raptor has 13-14 inches. Besides the Raptor has an electronic locker in the rear and a torsen limited slip up front, the first gen Raptor has a 6.2l that makes more hp and torque than a regular truck. Adding just shocks to a truck doesnt make it as good as a raptor, you would need to replace the front suspension with long travel components which require widers lower and upper arms and longer axles and also widen the rear and replace the rear leafs with deavers. Trust me, by the time you did that, you will have spent tons of money. Just get a raptor instead. Lol

[@Quest4Unknown]

That Raptor gets 1 MPG less than my 2010 150 STX 4X4, BFG KOs I have a 2 1/2 inch level kit, Ruff country with one inch black for the rear... zero problems with my 150 that’s ten years old. That said man the performance you get with this Raptor wins! Besides the price. Mines paid off soooo it’s reliable and I use it as a truck when I want. Yup keeping my 150 fo life. Btw I use a Ford Focus 2012 manual hatch titanium, 170K only changed rotors, battery. I bought the focus 140k miles ago.

B.k. Greg how much does it cost to fill up your gas tank? I live in California considering getting one 🤔

[@abenzuoo]

[@BkGreg]

@@joseguzman928 I live in ohio, about 60 dollars if empty. I think it has a 30 or 32 gallon tank. My old 2000 model super duty had a 40 gal. Tank. Gas here now is about 2.30 a gallon. I have visited California, a great place to visit, I would really not want to live there. Have a great day.

[@BkGreg]

@Lassi Kinnunen The 6.2 in the 2012 super duty has 385 h.p. It looks like the same engine in Scottys video, it is just tuned different, so less h.p., probably could be upgraded to match h.p. in Raptor, but like Scotty said, who wants that bad a gas mileage. My truck also has the 6 speed transmission, and is set up for hauling. This truck gets as good a gas mileage as my 2000 super duty got with a 5.4 triton V8 with only about 265 h.p. The 6.2 is an engine that compares to the V10 that was an option in older superdutys, but they were gas hogs.

Scotty, Scotty, Scotty. The hood graphic is matte film with a gloss printed Raptor logo that matches the side graphics (distressed). The F150 logo is not faded it’s a muted finish to be like a watermark. How do I know this I worked with the team that made them. 👍🏼 That decal should last 10 years or the life of the vehicle.

My first Raptor.. I bought a 2010 SuperCab 6.2L for $32,900. I sold that 2010 2 years later retail for $31,500. My second Raptor... I bought a 2014 Special Edition Raptor for $34,900. I traded it in 1.5 years later for a Nissan GT-R for $31,000. I currently have a 2014 Oxford White Ford Raptor fully built by SVC Supercharged, Headers, Exhaust, 37s.... etc etc. It is not for sale and will never be. These are fantastic trucks guys.
